Do you like the font of the title? (see page 2, bottom image)

So basically what ive done since last update is:
*added title
*changed the colour of some continents
*added key
*added one ways (if anyone has linux i could use there help in improving the arrows, theres this program that makes custom arrows but its in linux only)

And if your confused about which continent is whic:
Afghanistan - the black red and green continent
Pakistan - green and white continent with star and moon
Troubled North - Blue/Purple
Himalayas - Pink
Eastern Ghats - Grey
Myanmar - red and blue
South (If you have a better name post here) - Green
West India - Yellow

i changed it to brown and yes. They are the himalayan mountains (Theyre really meant to be on the other side of the countries but dont tell anyone)

Ive gotten rid of it for the moment. What do you mean by grainy?

p.s. is it just me or is my map looking worse the further i get into its development?

You may or may not have noticed but i usually go to other peoples maps and complain about them having a country which only borders one other (In Middle Earth its belegost; in Europe its Portugal and Estonia; in the british isles its cornwall, Isle of Wight etc.) and i figured i was being a hypocrite by having askai chin with only one border, so i am thinking about having this "rule" where every country in the troubled north can attack each other. comments?

Excuse me if you dislike my sincerity, but are you really working on this image to make the final version? I hope you arent:

1) the font of the title is simply ridiculous.
2) the font of the countries names is not good too. And in fact, in many places the names are not readable: Kerala? Sikkim? (Oh, by the way, this country is ridiculously small, you need make it bigger!) Goa? (Same problem) Arunachai Pradesh?
3) The names, make them simple! Why so many "pradesh"? And that W. Bengal, where is the another Bengal?
4) Some countries are so small that they cant have room for names and number of armies, you need re-think them...
5) The patterns, I know there were not easy to do, but they are very poor. It remembers me my version of the Brazil map with patterns... they usually are not good.
6) What type of legend is that one?

So, this map will still need tons of work. Lets dicuss bonuses later, when I have a better idea of the continents.

1) i liked the font in the title (the border of the font is all crummy and i will fix that), its faux sanskrit, meaning fake sansrit (sanskrit is the characters used used in the languages of the area)
2) Do you have a suggestion for a better font? its the default font of GIMP, i'll change it for next update (i may do something like martiovw did and get people to vote). Ill move them around so they dont class with the border.
3) Im using the official names of the states, i dont know what pradesh means or why there are so many of them. West Bengal is a state of india, east bengal later became bangladesh.
4) Ill enlargen some countries
5) Yah i know i have to do something about that.
6) Its a pretend ledgend, i cant make it proper until i have the continent colours right so its just there for reference.

I like your honesty, this is the first real feedback ive had on the map.

I have an idea for the background of the whole map but i just dont know how to do it.

1. agree
2. agree
3. I'm not sure what your talking about specifically but personally I prefer authentic names..
4. agree
5. like the brazil map is good now .. kidding of course its my favorite map and yes I agree the patterns are RIDICULOUS.. and ugly..
6. yeah and continent bonuses arent good either..

You may or may not have noticed but i usually go to other peoples maps and complain about them having a country which only borders one other (In Middle Earth its belegost; in Europe its Portugal and Estonia; in the british isles its cornwall, Isle of Wight etc.) and i figured i was being a hypocrite by having askai chin with only one border, so i am thinking about having this "rule" where every country in the troubled north can attack each other. comments?

dude one border is no biggie.. just dont advance any.

I absolutely hate them. They should go die. You always need two entrances just incase some noob starts building men on the surrouding country.

Afghanistan and Pakistan are only 1, because when you get both u get an extra bonus. Im going to get rid of the patterns. I might expand the countries to give more space for the name, if that doesnt work ill use the ISO code, thnx for the link.

Aww... nobody likes faux sanskrit except me. I think ill put it to vote and if no comes in as greater than 65% ill change it.
